Patch Notes v 1.2

The patch is finally here! Took way too long to put it together. The major thing that this patch does is fixing the issue of the “To Be Continued” screen showing too early, which basically cut the intended gameplay in half. As a bonus, we decided to throw in a really basic version of a combat system, with an optional combat encounter hidden in plain sight.

• Fixes of major bugs and hard locks throughout the available gameplay
• Removed hard lock when entering Embassy Club (TBC screen)
